What Job Seekers Can Learn from Tiger Woods
During his final press conference, Tiger said something worth noting:
"That's the only way you're going to win major championships over the long haul is give yourself as many chances as you possibly can. Nobody in the history of the game has done better than Jack (Nicklaus), finished second 19 times.
"You have to give yourself enough chances to win them and I've done
that. And very proud of the changes I've made to get to this point. But
unfortunately today I just didn't get it done."
In job interviews, as in sports, we all sometimes finish second. Sometimes we finish second a lot. But that is good. As Tiger noted you want to "give yourself as
many chances as you possibly can."
If you keep getting interviews, prepare well, ask great questions, send thoughtful thank you notes, etc. you'll eventually finish first and not second.
So be like Jack Nicklaus, or Tiger Woods, keep giving yourself a chance!
